1201 FP Barrel Q?

[black*]

Hey figured this would be the place to ask. Recently decided to get a new bird hunting/skeet semi auto 12ga. After checking around a few places it dawned on me that I should look at seeing if there are replacement field barrels that would fit on a 1201fp. I know the stock form a super 90 will work as a replacement and saw another comment that A pin tail barrel could be used? Any one have the straight and narrow on this? Thanx in advance.

I've check on the Pintail barrel, too, but that's a no go. The 1201FP barrel cannot be interchanged. The reason: the magazine tube. If you compare the Beretta 1201FP barrel to a 1200F barrel, you'll notice that the barrel connector to the magazine on the 1201FP is forward and the 1200F is back. Look at the forearm. The 1201FP carries 6+1 rounds and the 1200F carries 2+1, that little extra firepower is what's stopping you. Unless you know of a barrel maker, I'm sorry to say, it will not happen. The only thing you could do is switch an 18.5" to a 20" on the 1201FP - those are the only barrel lengths available (if you can find it).





If you had a Benelli M1S90, they made an 18.5" RS, 24" VR, and 26" VR barrels that were swapable.

thanks for the info that definitely answers that.
